Chapter 413: Chapter 412: People Arriving One After Another

...

While Ye Xuan was instructing Mo Xiaofei in sword techniques.

Outside Wan’an City, once again, someone approached.

It was an utterly black raven, flying at great speed, and as it was about to reach Wan’an City, it transformed with a flicker into a man in black robe, whose features bore a sinister air.

"So this is Wan’an City..."

Wu Shan muttered to himself as he gazed upon Wan’an City in the distance.

The comer was none other than Wu Shan from Tiger Evil Sect!

After taking in his surroundings, Wu Shan didn’t rush to make noise or enter the city, but waited in silence.

He remembered his Master’s teaching: under no circumstances should he start trouble upon arriving here.

That Ye Xuan was definitely not as simple as he appeared, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to erase the power left by his Master.

He had received word that besides him, people from the Seven Killings Sect and Qingliu Mountain were also coming.

It seemed that he was the first to arrive, so waiting for the Seven Killings Sect and Qingliu Mountain’s people was all the better.

Just then, Wu Shan suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and swiftly turned around.

There, a streak of red light was flickering.

Immediately after, a woman in a red robe appeared out of nowhere.

A flame mark on the forehead of the red-robed woman lent even more honor to her already beautiful face.

At her side, fearsome auras surged out, causing trembles in the hearts and minds of those who felt them.

"Red Sparrow Institute, Ruan Mengyue!" Wu Shan inhaled sharply, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Could it be that someone from the Red Sparrow Institute had also been detained?!

As Wu Shan noticed Ruan Mengyue, she too spotted him.

Ruan Mengyue glanced at Wu Shan, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and said, "A disciple of Tiger Evil Sect?"

Not daring to be careless, Wu Shan bowed respectfully and said, "Tiger Evil Sect’s disciple, Wu Shan, has seen Fairy Ruan!"

Ruan Mengyue was an exceptionally prominent figure among the younger generation of the Red Sparrow Institute.

Not to mention him, even if the Saint Heir of their Tiger Evil Sect were to come here, they would have to be respectful.

Ruan Mengyue nodded slightly in greeting, then looked towards Wan’an City, speaking slowly, "Are you here for a rescue as well?"

Wu Shan replied truthfully, "My fellow disciple Le Hongbo has been detained here, and my Master ordered me to come and check on the situation."

A curious look flashed through Ruan Mengyue’s beautiful eyes.

Within the Southern Domain, was there really someone so audacious as to have targeted not only the Red Sparrow Institute but also the people of other Sects?

"You’re waiting for someone?" Ruan Mengyue asked.

"If I may be honest, I’m waiting for people from Seven Killings Sect and Qingliu Mountain," Wu Shan replied.

Ruan Mengyue felt a strangeness in her heart, as there were other Sects involved?

At this moment, two figures flew over from afar, seemingly in company with each other.

"Here they come," Wu Shan’s eyes brightened.

Ruan Mengyue cast a casual glance and indeed saw people from Seven Killings Sect and Qingliu Mountain.

She didn’t linger and made her way towards Wan’an City.

As she approached, she immediately sensed the presence of an Array Barrier.

"Such a masterful Array!"

Shock arose in Ruan Mengyue’s eyes.

At first glance, she hadn’t noticed anything special, but upon closer inspection, she realized that this Array Barrier was extremely sophisticated, certainly not the work of an ordinary Spirit Array Master.

Absolutely the work of an Array Master!

"Could it be that Ye Xuan is also an Array Master?"

Ruan Mengyue was incredibly surprised.

Ordinarily, she too had an interest in the art of Spirit Arrays, hence she knew much about such things.

Because she understood these matters, she was even more astonished.

With this thought, Ruan Mengyue did not attempt to break through forcefully but instead called out, "Red Sparrow Institute’s Ruan Mengyue pays respects, please come out for a meeting."

"Red Sparrow Institute’s Ruan Mengyue?!"

The people from Seven Killings Sect and Qingliu Mountain who had just arrived all took in sharp breaths of air.

Just like Wu Shan, they were utterly shocked.

Someone from the Red Sparrow Institute had also been detained here?!

The three joined Ruan Mengyue and, after respectfully paying their tribute, turned their gaze towards Wan’an City.

They too wanted to see what Ye Xuan looked like, how presumptuous he must be to actively seek trouble with them.

Boom!

However, Ye Xuan did not appear.

The Array, instead, opened a pathway, drawing them in.

"Hmm?!"

Seeing this scene, Wu Shan and the others all narrowed their eyes.

"This fellow sure puts on quite the air," they thought.

They couldn’t help but turn their gaze toward Ruan Mengyue, wondering how she would respond.

However, to their surprise, Ruan Mengyue did not show any dissatisfaction and instead followed the path cut for her by Ye Xuan, heading straight to the small courtyard of the Ye Family where Ye Xuan was located.

"Worthy of being the Fairy of the Red Sparrow Institute, what a good temperament..." The people from the Seven Killings Sect and Qingliu Mountain silently praised and followed along.

Since Ruan Mengyue did not get angry, if they were to get angry, it would seem rather petty.

Little did they know that Ruan Mengyue was simply struck by the brilliance of the array and thus did not dwell on that issue.

Ruan Mengyue, walking at the forefront, became increasingly shocked in her heart.

The array seemed to open a gap allowing them entry.

However, in reality, the power of the array was still lingering all around.

Ruan Mengyue was certain that if she dared to make a move, the array would instantly activate and throw her out.

They hastened on their way and quickly arrived inside Ye Xuan’s courtyard.

Ye Xuan stood with his hands shoved in his pockets, watching the pond in his own courtyard, his back to the group.

The gazes of the group were locked onto Ye Xuan.

"You’ve arrived," Ye Xuan slowly turned around, a hint of a smile on his lips, his eyes deep.

Upon seeing Ye Xuan, the four of them were greatly surprised.

So young?

At a glance, they could tell that Ye Xuan’s bone age was definitely no more than seventeen.

Which meant that Ye Xuan’s real age was even less than seventeen years old.

At such an age, to already be capable of defeating Le Hongbo and the others, such strength, even placed in the East Desolation Domain, would definitely mark him as a young prodigy, surely attracting many sects to vie for him.

It seemed that this fellow’s reputation was not falsely earned after all.

"Did you set up this array?" Ruan Mengyue cut straight to the chase.

Ye Xuan couldn’t help giving Ruan Mengyue another look and said slowly, "Do you want to learn?"

Ruan Mengyue really wanted to say she did want to learn, but that was not her purpose for coming. She spoke seriously, "Where is my junior sister?"

Ye Xuan waved his hand casually and Leng Hongmi appeared in front of Ruan Mengyue.

"Sister Ruan!" Leng Hongmi was overjoyed to see Ruan Mengyue.

"Junior sister." Seeing that Leng Hongmi was unharmed, Ruan Mengyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Our people?" Wu Shan looked toward Ye Xuan, frowning.

Ye Xuan waved his hand again.

Le Hongbo, Du Feiyuan, and Peng Cangfeng also appeared.

"Brother!" Le Hongbo was overjoyed.

Both Du Feiyuan and Peng Cangfeng looked at the visitors from Qingliu Mountain and the Seven Killings Sect, their minds slightly eased.

"I need a few items," Ye Xuan said calmly and at a measured pace.

Everyone’s gaze converged onto Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan paused, then slowly listed what he needed, "Ten jin of Extreme Cold Heavenly Water, three Ghostly Illusion Sky Souls, ten jin of Limitless Spring, a tuft of Nanli Strange Fire, and ten Hundred Spirit Fruits."

"What?!"

Hearing Ye Xuan’s demands, Wu Shan and the others’ expressions turned a shade darker.

All these items were top-tier treasures, very valuable, and even for them, they were hard to come by.

Now that Ye Xuan had mentioned so many all at once, how were they to cope?

For a time, the expressions of Wu Shan and the others turned even uglier.

"Are you trying to extort us?" The man from the Seven Killings Sect spoke coldly, his eyes unfriendly.

"You may think so," Ye Xuan replied with a faint smile.

"Young man, I don’t deny you have real strength, but your perspective seems to be limited to the Southern Domain, doesn’t it?" the person from Qingliu Mountain spoke indifferently.

"With actions like yours in East Desolate Domain, ending up dead with no body intact wouldn’t be surprising."

"Understand?"

The person from Qingliu Mountain threatened.

Without paying any attention to him, Ye Xuan spoke gradually, "These items, each of your sects must produce a portion, and once the items arrive, you can leave."

As the sound of his voice dissipated, the already somber expressions on everyone’s faces grew even more unsightly.

Even Ruan Mengyue furrowed her brows and said, "Your terms are a bit too excessive."

The combined value of these items was over a billion.

Ye Xuan was asking for all of them, insisting each sect produce a portion. Wasn’t this extortion?

"What you think is your business," Ye Xuan said with a nonchalant smile.

"I see that you have no intention of negotiating in good faith," the man from the Seven Killings Sect suddenly erupted with a terrifying murderous intent.

"So..." Ye Xuan looked at the man from the Seven Killings Sect, grinned, and said, "Do you want to die?"
